Updating the firmware may require that a new evaluation GUI
be obtained. If the firmware on the website is used to flash the
ISEB, the evaluation GUI on the corresponding website is
sufficient. If the firmware used is obtained from the Analog
Devices website, use the most recent version of the evaluation
GUI, which is also located on analog.com.
Installing the ADXL372
For proper operation, additional drivers and run-time engines
are necessary. The software GUI installation did not include the
requisite National Instruments drivers and run-time engines or
VIA. If there are no such run-time engines on your computer,

evaluation GUI. The run-time engine installer is found in the
/Run Time Engine/ folder on analog.com. To run the software
GUI installation routine, double-click the setup.exe file located
in the /ADXL372 Evaluation Software/ folder on the website.
